How To Season Cast Iron Dutch Oven
Seasoning your cast iron Dutch oven is simple. Start by scrubbing it with hot, soapy water. This removes factory wax and dirt. Avoid soaking the pot. After drying it well, apply a thin layer of flaxseed oil. Wipe off any extra oil.
Preheat your oven to 450°F to 500°F. Place the pot upside down in the oven. Put aluminum foil below to catch any drips. Bake it for one hour. This process creates a non-stick surface.
Caring for your Dutch oven is also important. Use gentle soap and water for cleaning. Dry it completely after washing. A little oil after cleaning helps maintain the seasoning. Enjoy your cooking with this well-seasoned pot!
